Oh, totally. I wasn't talking about that one, which was incredibly comprehensive.

It's also that some community members are not trying to come up with a solution that works for everyone, just one that works for them and their specific cause. I'm not being dismissive of that - that's how you get creative solutions that someone not laser-focused on that particular mode or...

I'm glad they put the "feedback" slide where they only took the most positive comments as an appendix. Probably embarrassing to show that one :). I assume 3 and 4 are the real options, because they're the only ones rendered with The Burren. Of those, 3 is better because the varied massing...

March Board Meeting is up: https://www.massport.com/sites/default/files/2026-04/Website_March_Board-Meeting_03-19-26_v3.pdf One big note is that a lot of public comment has led them to put studying the feasibility of a people mover back in the Strategic Plan. Also discusses the Braintree...

My goodness, someone put a lot of work into that page. Kudos to them. The idea of rerouting the 47 directly to Mem Drive alone makes this worth consideration. Worth remembering the story of the all-at-grade alternative for Allston - concepts from the community can win the day when they're...

The MOS has since put more detail for this on their website: https://www.mos.org/public-science-common

I'd hope that HYM would at least move quickly once they decide to start. Maybe more like the new Boston Landing Hotel.

A complete lack of care or effort? Letting the AI do the architecture?

This doesn't seem like it's about unions, it's about a developer that is happy waiting until the frabjous day comes when lab space is magically profitable again.

What, pray tell, is this at the "crossing" of? The shark?

It's not a road diet, it's a road rationalization. Same number of travel lanes, just a narrower footprint and fewer curb cuts.

I think that stretch of Route 9 could benefit from de-highway-izing even more than other similar roads - the Hammond Street intersection is signalized, so it's not like people are used to speeding through there anyway. Access on the Newton (WB) side is really kludged with multiple one-way slip...

Ban Global from bidding. They shouldn't get away with their corrupt nonsense.

What is this the "meridian" of? The whole purpose of it is because it's at the edge.

It's my desktop background, so I look at it a lot :)

Without having taken the picture, I believe it's Park Street Church. He found a cool angle you don't usually get of Cambridge.

I think it's best to accept that there are about five development firms that can ever actually build anything (Samuels, HYM, Alexandria, Boston Properties, National Development). Everyone else (Mark, Peebles, Accordia...) is in the render generation business.

It could also be tax revenue impacts. Residential will pay less than lab and office. Of course, lab and office won't work there anymore, but maybe he's clinging to the dream of a "second Kendall" like every municipal official within a 50-mile radius of Cambridge did.

They can if they want to, but I suspect they largely voted the anti-rezoning slate for City Council and mostly lost. You get a redo on that every two years, but I think outrage would need to be widespread to overcome the pro-housing majority.
